Netflix's new kids' series "The Baby-Sitters Club" — a reboot of the 1990s show with the same name, both of which are based on the popular book series by Ann M. Martin — features a young child character who is a boy and identifies as a transgender girl.
Plot lines in the series explore the child's gender identity from a very progressive worldview, going into detailed explanations about how the boy is "really a girl" and even having a main character rebuke two doctors in a hospital for referring to the child as "he" (bottom video):
At the end of a lengthy Twitter thread celebrating the character, Netflix said:
So, we have no choice but to stan The Baby-Sitters Club, our unproblematic queens and queer allies.
And more importantly: stan Bailey and all the very real children like her who know who they are.
According to the thread, the trans character "Mary Anne" is featured in Episode 4.
